September 2010 - Volume XXXVI Number 8 

“Do not neglect the gift you have, which was conferred on you
through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate.

Be diligent in these matters, be absorbed in them,
so that your progress may be evident to everyone.”

1 Timothy 4:14-15


Theme Article: Strike While the Iron's Hot!

by Robert King

The theme for this article was inspired by the July 22nd Sound Insight Radio program with Dr. Tom Curran.  To hear the program online, go to www.MyCatholicFaith.org and choose Podcasts.

Testimony: Because of God’s Love

by Anna Maria Pouchet

This is an excerpt of the testimony given at the WWCCR Pentecost Celebration on May 22, 2010

 

I am here today because of God’s love.  I’m from a small island in the Caribbean called Trinidad.  I left Trinidad in 1993 to pursue an education. I’m from a devout Catholic family and I was introduced to Charismatic Renewal at the age of 8 years old.  I was baptized in the Spirit at the age of 12.  But there was a defining moment in my life where I, like Peter, betrayed God. I walked away from everything that I knew was good.  Read more
